The Management Development Program (MDP) is our flagship executive program that enables participants to expand their knowledge across all functional areas and develop a holistic management perspective. By integrating key functional disciplines, participants develop the capability to envision, influence, control and implement the strategic direction of the firm.

The objective of MDP is to create successful business leaders who can compete by leveraging their own and their organizations’ inherent strengths. Residing together at LUMS, the participants immerse themselves in a two week-long learning experience that has been engineered to be rigorous, real in context and transformational.

The curriculum has been mapped into two week-long modules.

MODULE 1Integration of Key Management Functions - Covers the broad functional areas in order to enhance the general management skills and expose participants to other areas of management in which they may have limited knowledge and/or experience.

MODULE 2Managing the Strategic Direction of the Firm - Focuses on the ability of participants to view the organization from a strategic perspective and in the process sharpen their leadership, interpersonal and negotiation skills. The aim is to enhance their impact as leaders, strategists and change agents.
